Flat Fee MLS 101

Sell faster using my 5 tips for listing flat fee MLS in South Dakota

Look like all other listings in the United States MLS. Package your South Dakota flat fee listing so Realtors® will see your listing in the MLS exactly the same as a full-service agent's listing. List flat fee with Professional ADDvantage™ and you'll get more Realtor® showings, worry less about negotiating or filing disclosures, have less stress and likely get a higher sale price.

Use a professionally-done yard sign.Realtors® fear For Sale By Owner signs (white and red; generic) because they mean FSBO and not necessarily MLS listed. As well, FSBO signs promote the seller's own phone number and that is not necessarily what a Realtor® wants their buyer to see. The best solution is to use a metal ADDvantage® sign with our number on it. This means you get a professional MLS administrator answering the phone for you Mon-Thu 9AM-7PM, Fri 9AM-6PM, Sat 9AM-5PM, Sun 9AM-4PM, and we forward all buyer leads to you and schedule appointments. This service is called Agent Assure® and is $159 as an add-on or free with our Professional ADDvantage™ program.

List flat fee without giving up the right to sell by yourself and get 100% contract-to-close representation. Contract representation is so important for many reasons but the most critical reason to list using Professional ADDvantage™ contract-to-close representation is so Realtors® only talk with and negotiate through ADDvantage®. This assures you peace of mind that there will be no mistakes in getting you the highest offer. Additionally, Realtors® prefer working with another broker as apposed with the seller.

Price your property correctly and leave no room to negotiate. This might sound crazy but it's true. In a buyer's market, buyers are anticipating prices to move lower and therefore buy under what sellers call “market value”. Conversely, in a seller's market, buyers justify buying “market” prices because they believe prices will rise in the future.
